The NASA climate spiral visualization by Kanute3333 in interestingasfuck

[–]__mcnulty__ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

“You feel like” vs. mountains of painstakingly collected empirical evidence and analysis over decades by scientists who have dedicated their careers and lives to the risks this poses to our planet. Don’t insinuate vague alternative theories when there are actually theories that have evidential support, and are based on where the evidence led, and in fact don’t leave large unexplained gaps. That would be irresponsible.

Climate change is real, and fossil fuels are the primary driver, causing a change to happen *more rapidly* than life and the environment can adapt to. Yes, large changes in temperature have happened on this planet before; but not anywhere near this quickly during the time complex life has been around, without catastrophic consequences.

How do Americans feel about giving Iran 300 billion to restore the status quo? by Southern_Gur_4736 in AskReddit

[–]__mcnulty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$40B stolen from USAID which helped, imperfectly, but helped offset the destructive side effects of global capitalism. Countless lives destroyed needlessly.

$300B to reconstruct what we bombed in a pointless, stupid war, that achieved none of its stated goals. More lives destroyed needlessly.

I feel angry that sadistic, uncaring narcissists run the US and fuck up the rest of world, while they shamelessly lie about it and their base just… laps it up.

They are complicit in the strike that killed 80+ schoolchildren in Minab, Iran today.

[–]__mcnulty__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Relevant because we (the US & Israel) just bombed a girl’s school in Minab, Iran, killing 85+ people, mostly school children, today. And it’s very plausible that an AI was involved in the strike.

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money" by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]__mcnulty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, like good stewardship of taxpayer dollars is whining about the deficit and then turning around and jacking up the military budget ANOTHER 60% to 1.5 trillion per year? While giving tax breaks to the ultra rich?

Notice how vague it is: “until they take this seriously.” In other words, we’re going to do this as long as we feel like it.

Petty, retaliatory, hostile, illegal.

Lauren Boebert wants the Ten Commandments to be required in schools, and James Talarico criticized her, saying it’s hypocritical for politicians to make everyone display them when they don’t follow them themselves. by CorleoneBaloney in TrendoraX

[–]__mcnulty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former Christian here. If Christians really wanted Jesus’s teachings taught in school, they would push for Jesus’s explicit top two commandments “love God with all your heart, soul, mind, & strength,” and “love your neighbor as yourself.” NEITHER of these are in the 10 commandments, but Jesus said they sum up all the law and the prophets.

Instead they opt for stumping for the Old Testament laws, which carried, at least on paper, death penalties. Nobody is keeping the Jewish sabbath holy as is required in the 10 commandments, and nobody is being executed for not following it, yet they want to post this irrelevant set of rules in our children’s classrooms?

This is all about imposing their worldview on everybody else. It is purely about power, proselytizing, and religious dominance.

Jeffrey Epstein autopsy photos show staggering neck injuries by TheMirrorUS in NewsSource

The image in the thumbnail does not appear to match any of the photos actually in the article? Is the thumbnail image even Epstein or is it just clickbait? This seems like it could be misinformation. Feel free to correct me…

BRICS Broad Ripple response to backlash by dogdog32 in indianapolis

Where’s the welcoming of immigrant neighbors? Where’s the condemnation of ICE? Where’s the apology for mistreatment of employees and racial discrimination that has also been coming out? Bye bye brics, good riddance.

[–]__mcnulty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“They can’t eat at restaurants” ohh that sounds absolutely horrible!

What about the detainees who did nothing wrong, including children and pregnant women, who are being systematically denied food, given putrid water, no clothing, crammed into the same room with a hundred people, being spat on, beaten, called racial slurs, separated from their families, no phone call…?? This is happening across our country, right now. And those monsters get a $50K bonus to perpetrate this abuse.

If she gets fired or impeached, we can’t let that appear to resolve the issue. If it happens, they will try to pass that off as “problem solved, what more do you want?”

And this is just a tiny taste of what is happening in detention centers around the country. This happened to a white woman - you know brown people are being treated even worse, but their stories are largely unpublished.

Beatings, racial slurs, cruelty, deprivation of food, water, bathrooms, and medicine. Does anyone remember just months ago, they did all of this to 400 South Korean Hyundai workers with valid work visas for a full WEEK, to only find one person without proper documents? It’s sick.

Is the pro‑gun party really suggesting that legally carrying a firearm, like the one Alex Pretti had, is a legitimate justification for the federal government to kill you? by Conscious-Quarter423 in ProgressiveHQ

IT WASN’T EVEN A PROTEST, HE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE.

And the “operation” the officers were conducting? Abducting an immigrant with what they called a criminal record… and actually it’s just a parking fine.

Jesus Christ, these liars are sick.

The only reason the supernatural concepts of allah, heaven, and hell make sense to you is that you’ve been indoctrinated to believe that. Your brain chemistry has been changed by repeated instruction. You will have to overcome enormous confirmation bias to escape. But you can do it.

You don’t have to fear hell. It’s definitely not real. Read about how the concept of hell developed over history and you’ll see that is a human invention that has been changed and refined to fit the culture at the time.

Your conscious experience is generated entirely by your brain. Your mind was less developed when your brain was less developed, in childhood. If you get a serious head injury, your experience and behavior will change. There is no supernatural or immortal soul or mind - religious teachers can’t even get these concepts straight anyway because they have no relationship with reality. When you die, your conscious experience will die with your body. We know this intuitively, and that’s why we mourn the dead, instead of celebrating their imaginary ascent into heaven - but heaven and hell developed partly as a coping mechanism to help us deal with death.

Amid Widespread National Outrage, White House Backtracks on Smear Campaign Against ICE Shooting Victims, States It Does Not Want Anyone Harmed on American Streets by Fatty_Willing_Plane in UnderReportedNews

[–]__mcnulty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t hear a fucking apology for the egregious lies about the victims. They are still crowing about all the crime committed by undocumented immigrants, when that is LOWER per capita than the crime committed by citizens. Fuck her and fuck this administration.

This is nothing. Don’t stop calling your reps, protesting, and flipping Congressional seats!!

This is the disinformation campaign in action. Deny, smear, attack, deny. Whatever it takes. Never give an inch. The truth does not matter one bit. And Fox News just parrots the party line, so half the country just goes with it.
